IN WINTER OF 2013 WE RECEIVED A MINI APPLE TREE AS A GIFT AND WHEN IT WAS NOT FREEZING I PLANTED IT NEXT TO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS CALLED MINI TREE MALUS DOMESTICA GOLDLANE . IT WILL GROW TO 2 METERS HIGH AND 50 CM BROAD AND IT CAN GROW ON A BALCONY IN A POT, NO PRUNING NEEDED AND IT POLINATES ITSELF . THE FIRST SPRING WE GOT A FEW FLOWERS SO I WAS HOPING FOR ONE OR TWO APPLES BUT WHEN YOU HAVE VERY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS….RIGHT ! LAST YEAR I DIDN’T GET APPLE BLOSSOMS SO NO FRUIT OF COURSE. BUT THIS YEAR I HAVE A LOT OF BLOSSOMS SO I AM HOPEFUL I WILL GET A FEW APPLES. I PROMISED MY GRANDCHILDREN THEY WOULD GET THE APPLES WHEN THEY ARE READY TO EAT AND THEY ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. THEY ARE TAKING AN INTEREST NOW IN GARDENING AND IN MY GREENHOUSE WHERE I PLANTED ALL SORTS OF VEGETABLES AND THEY LOVE TO HELP ME WITH THE WATERING :D.

I WAS EVEN ABLE TO TAKE SOME SHOTS FOR YOU WITH ONE ARM AND ONE FINGER OF MY RIGHT HAND !

this was taken over a week ago when it was still in buds

and now you can see it flowering

SO FOR NOW I AM PLEASED !!

HAVE GREAT WEEKEND AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY !

AS YOU KNOW (or not) I BROKE MY WRIST ON MONDAY WHILE WORKING IN THE GARDEN, ON A&E THEY TOLD ME MY WRIST WAS BROKEN AND I NEEDED AN OPRATION,THEY COULD NOT OPERATE RIGHT AWAY AND TOLD ME I HAD TO COME BACK TO THE HOSPITAL ON THURSDAY SO I DID. I GOT A TEMPORARY CAST AND WAS GIVEN A PERMANENT CAST COS THE SURGEON SAID NO OPERATION WAS NEEDED. BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG, I AM STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN AN I AM CLIMBING THE WALL. SO FIRST THING ON MONDAY I WILL PHONE THE HOSPITAL AND ASK WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT, PAINKILLERS DON’T WORK ON THIS PAIN.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS WILL CONTINUE ; I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED OK.

FOR ALL OF YOU, THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND KINDNESS. I WISH YOU ALL A LOVELY WEEKEND.
